A Great Day for Children

The Roman Catholic Church claims it does not employ priests, so is not liable for damages when they rape children. This is sensible for Australian Courts are generous with damages, and with the thousands of claims that would be made, the Church would need to sell some of its portfolio of properties.

The Church does make some payment to its victims, but the payments are well below what would be made by the Court. And the Church can make these reduced payments without having to sell of its vast fortune in property.

However if you believe the Church doesn't employ priests, you will believe anything.

So what is really important is that the sexual abuse of children can be used as a pretext for prompting sales from the RCC's property portfolio?

I fail to see how that will really provide satisfaction to victims of clerical sexual abuse or, more importantly, prevent it occuring again in future but I think its good that you've been able to clarify this point, you do know Mole that should you succeed in bankrupting the institution, the community of believers would remain and their beliefs?

Read much on the mass rocks or hedge schools lately? There's been not a few examples from history of attempts to annihilate roman catholicism and roman catholicism before now, they all failed.

The church leadership needs to be reminded of this. I think it is something that Pope Francis understands.

I still don't understand why all these pedophile priests weren't simply reported to the police like any other child molester.

There are folks out there who believe D&D is devil worship. Some people will believe anything.

Do read the Report of the Royal Commission below to find out why.

At most, that would provide an explanation for Australia. Unfortunately the problem is not confined there.

If you also read the nine year National Irish Judicial Enquiry into Child Abuse plus State Enquiries you might get an international picture.

The Royal Commission reached out right across the globe and arrested the Treasurer of the Roman Catholic Church and brought him back to the Victorian Criminal Court, where he stands charged with multiple sex abuse against children.

Although the Roman Catholic Church is most egregious criminal offender against children and covered it up, many other religions and secular institutions were also found to have sexually abused children and covered it up. For instance see the Jehovah's Witnesses being examined before the Commission by clicking on YouTube .

The Roman Catholic Church is refusing to report child sexual abusers to the police citing the seal of confession as inviolable. Do we really want our children to get into a dark box with a priest who refuses to report child sexual abuse to the police? Click on YouTube .

None of this prevents the parents of abused children from reporting the abusers to the police. If they do not, they are just enabling the abusers.

I think a great day for children would like a trip to a theme park or ice cream for dinner or a birthday complete with cake and presents and friends. :campfire:

Not another Mole thread. :tantrum:

Although the Royal Commission enquired into many religions and secular organisations, they didn't enquire into Islam, yet we have muslims brought before our Criminal Courts charged with child abuse from infibulation, to kidnapping, to child marriage. Yet the Royal Commission thought fit to not enquire into Islam. Click on Category: | Herald Sun
